iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Isn't that a marine grade Clarion model? Were there any connectivity issues with the OEM Becker radio connectors to the back of the unit?
Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Is "marine" but chrome front matches the Crossfire console. CZ302 is cheaper if you do not care about a black front. Instructions and adapters (I built an adapter cable instead or cutting up wiring so have more "shuff" behind the radio than needed) are complete in a different thread just search on M303.

Cool, I store my 06 Xfire half the year (only 10.5K on it) I've run hot and cold on the Solisto box and this spring ready to make a move to a better connected head unit. I like the M303 connectivity features. Is it an accurate fit into the console? Also I know the AUX and USB inputs are rear mounted on this unit, where did you run your cables? Into the armrest? Are there any issues with the Xfire sub-woofer amplifier wiring. Also on a separate subject did you have the crossover frequency capacitor retrofit in place on the front speakers and if so any issues with the new head unit.
Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
Just ran n extension USB cable and a RCA to min phone jack cable out the passenger side and tuck in the mesh on the side of the console.
Easier on 06 and earlier to remove lower panel cover since do not have knee air bags like my 07.
I need to pull so I can route the cables better and get the radio in another 1/2" so is flush.
May just cut off the Sirius and remote connectors since quite bulky.

Does anyone have the wiring pinouts for the Harman Becker Nav radio ipod aux cable. I am going to try to make one myself instead of buying from either Solisto iAux in Germany or Beckerautosound in the US.
It looks to be a very simple cable to make i just need the correct pinouts.

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
This is the cable from the Solisto website:
Solisto.iAux Becker | Solisto
Not sure how much it is yet but i am sure i can make one if only i can find the correct pin outs for the Nav radio aux connectors.

I found the pinouts but in the end decided to buy a cable for $10 doesn't charge the ipod but thats fine they last long enough for most journeys anyway.
For anyone that is interested here are the cable pinouts neded:
and here is the cable i bought from discountcarstereo:

Man I'm confused after reading through the forum posts, First is Rudy still doing the custom boxes or is he just reselling the Solisto Pro boxes? Does he actually have to mess around with the firmware\hardware to get the Solisto Pro to work? Second when choosing which stereo I have on the Solisto website, do I choose 6809 or 6810 (I have the SRT NAV version (note it does not have the black square in the center of the unit))? Then I see that there is a cable that does not have the interface box, that may work for an iPOD does this work?
If anyone can lend a hand explaining what and where I should buy the interface box that would be appreciated.

As of right now, anything they have that has iPod or USB control will be compatible with the nav radio.

Re: iPod Control with Factory Nav Radio is Here!
I fitted the aux lead for the ipod, but it doesn't work with the nav radio. Unless I can find a way to activate the aux port on the radio. After reading all the posts on this subject, I guess that somehow we have to fool the radio in thinking that it has a cd changer fitted to enable the aux setting to come up on the radio. Not sure if Rudy knows a way that I can put the right signal voltage on the correct pin to do this or whether this is not an option. I don't want to play around too much in case I blow the radio.
Rudy is this possible please?
